Houndstooth fashion faux pas

Houndstooth or Hound's Tooth also known as dog's tooth, is a duo-tone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, often in black and white, although other colors are used. The classic Houndstooth pattern is an example of a tiling a motif,in this case tiling a check motif. Houndstooth checks originated in woven wool cloth of the Scottish Lowlands, but are now used in many other materials, and even printed. The traditional Houndstooth check is made with alternating bands of four dark and four light threads in both warp and filling woven in a simple 2:2 twill, two over - two under the warp, advancing one thread each pass. In an early reference to houndstooth, NewYork city based men's and women's high end clothier founded in 1885, included houndstooth checks along with gun club checks and Scotch plaids as part of its 1933 spring men's suits collection.

About me

This blog is a diary of my style and my travel. I have been called names... "shoes fetish" and "shoes freak" are among others; but I am just a simple girl who happened to be addicted to shoes! I love things that are made in Indonesia. And I am also an avid traveler who is keen to travel the world, “viajante” [Grace Njio]
